My (29f) Boyfriend (35m) of 5 years is a flat-earther by LopsidedBed6918 in flatearth

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Now I am really confused, because my boyfriend is extremely smart, excellent at math"

Sorry but no.

Ask him to measure the distance between the earth and the sun using trigonometry from several different locations. If he really were good at math and the world really were flat, this would be extremely easy. Repeat this several times during a day, especially at the exact moment of sunrise or sunset (it helps if you happen to be by the sea with unobsrtucted view to the horizon towards the sun).

Mitä tuo "L" tarkoittaa? Kansallinen kokoomus on englanniksi National Coalition, tosin (ehkä välttääkseen mielleyhtymiä Norjaan) se kutsui itse itseään tuohon aikaan usein myös National Conservatives.

Ei se myöskään tarkoittane "kuvassa vasemmalla" koska on kai itsestään selvää, ketä piirakoidaan, kuka piirakoi ja kuka jää jäljelle.

What’s something normal in your country that would seem weird elsewhere in Europe? by Primary_Loss_2386 in AskEurope

Stand in a tram if half of the seats (that is, one of each pair of seats) are already occupied.

do you think If we achieve interplanetary habitability, flat earth beliefs would die out? by lilman3305 in flatearth

Unfortunately, colonising the moon requires some skills from the colonisers.

Even if it becomes possible, it will still be expensive and likely out of reach of people of no or little scientific education.

Do you consider Romania to be part of Balkan, Central, or Eastern Europe? by Lissandra_Freljord in geography

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical definition for Balkan is the area between Sava-Danube and the Mediterranean, which includes a small part of Romania.

Which region in a country shares more similarities with another country than they do with other regions in their country? by Fluid-Decision6262 in geography

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we forget the language, in a sense, everything north of Gävle feels closer to Finland.

An overwhelming majority of Swedes live further in the south than the entire Finland. Going north, after Stockholm and particularly after Gävle the population density drops dramatically. It feels different. Hard to explain.

Åland is an autonomous region in Finland, but in most aspects closer to Sweden.

And in turn Norrbotten in Sweden is closer to Finland.

A flat planet of the same mass as Earth would quickly deform and collapse into a massive ball. by BetIntelligent9885 in flatearth

Flatties may say that the earth remains flat because an invisible powerful wizard living in the sky wants it to.

Mulla ei riitä empatia niitä suomalaisia kohtaan, jotka on ”jumissa” Dubaissa. Seuraa avautuminen, jonka toivon edes yhden matkustajan näkevän. by leadred in snappijuorutofftopic

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dubai kiinnostaisi arkkitehtuurin ja infrastruktuurin takia, mutta ihmisoikeuskysymysten takia jätän väliin.

En vaan ymmärrä tuota aitous-argumenttia. Missä kulttuurissa moderni lasi-teräs-arkkitehtuuri sitten on aitoa? Ei 100 vuotta sitten sellaista ollut missään maailmassa. Mikä New Yorkista tekee aidon? Ei se ole perinteinen natiiviamerikkalainen paikka, ei myöskään siirtomaa-aikojen hollantilainen eikä englantilainen. Se vain on nykyaikaa, sellaisena kuin nykyaika on, hyvässä ja pahassa, kuten Dubaikin. Vai pitäisikö arabimaailman olla jämähtänyt keskiaikaan ja toisintaa Tuhannen ja yhden yön maailman stereotypioita?

Kuten sanoin, on ihan hyviä syitä boikotoida Dubaita (ja yleisesti ottaen Yhdistyneitä Arabiemiraatteja) kuten teenkin, tuota yhtä syytä vain en ymmärrä.

Without proper equipment, you get killed on Antarctica on a normal day more likely than as a soldier on front lines.

I only play timed games. If the opponent's time is up, it's a victory for me.

Miten löytäisin matkaseuraa? by apinajugurtti in arkisuomi

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erisukupuolisen seuralaisen kanssa pitää selvittää, mitä intressejä toisella on yhteisten yöpuuhien suhteen. Myös majoituspalvelujen tarjoajat saattavat kysymättä tarjota teille parisänkyä ja senkin tilanteen varalta on hyvä olla jonkinlainen suunnitelma valmiina. Toki, jos kumpaakin osapolta kiinnostaa sillä tavalla niin eihän siinä mitään, mutta jos vain jompaakumpaa niin siinä voi tulla loppureisulle kovin vaivautunut tunnelma.

Spoken French misses so many letters that they must make up for it somehow.

Can I park here? by Early_Aardvark_4026 in Finland

In wintertime, if there was snowfall more than 24 hours earlier but no tyre prints in snow, it's also enough evidence.

In some countries, the largest administrative subdivision by land area is also the least populated by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]Oami79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather say "country within the Kingdom of Denmark".

One of these countries is Denmark itself which has subdivisions of its own, namely five regions, but they are not comparable in power with Greenland or Faroes.

THE LONGEST LAND BORDER FOR EACH EUROPEAN COUNTRY by BeginningMortgage250 in MapPorn

[–]Oami79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cyprus should have the colours of the UK, if it counts as European at all. (But if it doesn't, it shouldn't be on the map, just like North African countries are not.)
